"If you are at the point of seriously considering therapy, then you might be experiencing intolerable pain and frustrated with life. You now recognize that something needs to change and you would like help to achieve that. The process of effective therapy requires a space of safety and protection. You typically sit across from a therapist at your most vulnerable opening up about what is truly painful and unbearable. Will they understand your experience and have the ability to help you solve the problems at the center of your pain?"

"Are your mental and physical issues taking over your life? Experiencing changes in life can be difficult. When changes are significant, and you find that they are multiplying, it can make the most capable person feel unfocused, irritable, sad, worried, and overwhelmed. You feel exhausted trying to find things to make you feel better. So many things you've tried have not worked. Maybe you've tried to reach out to loved ones, but they simply do not understand. Yet, overtime, the chronic pain, fears, and uncertainty about the future can make things worse. It is why you are here."

"If you struggle with chronic issues and have tried other therapists and are still struggling, I may be the therapist for you. Many chronic conditions are coming from significant early trauma that is difficult to access because the memory is not stored verbally in the brain. I have empathic and intuitive skills that allow me to make contact with your trauma and release it. Once released, the defensive symptoms disappear and there is an automatic increase in ease and wellbeing."

"The Therapist for People Who Don't Like Therapy... My biggest goal in therapy is to get you out of my office and back into your life! With that said, I have found that most people, at some point in their life, could benefit from some professional listening and feedback. Our friends and family are great sources of support, but are often too closely involved to provide the kind of unbiased perspective that we need to help us out of a rut or to enact the true change that we really desire."
